Organized Polish resistance collapsed by October 1831 following the fall of Warsaw. Some forces retreated to fortresses, while others crossed into Prussia to avoid submission to Russia.
After the capital fell, resistance continued briefly in fortresses such as Modlin and Zamość. However, organized resistance collapsed by October. On 5 October 1831, the remainder of the Polish army, over 20,000 men, crossed the Prussian frontier and laid down their arms at Brodnica.
